According to the official definition, Patient Online is
“an NHS England programme designed to support GP practices to offer and promote online services to patients, including access to records, online appointment booking and online repeat prescriptions.”
This program has come about as a result of the digitisation of patients’ records to make it possible for them to be viewed in that online format. While a great deal of services are already offered digitally such as online appointments and prescription ordering, it is hoped that by this coming month (April, 2015) patient records will be fully digitised.
With the right system in place, this new scheme could bring some major benefits for patients and the healthcare sector as a whole. According to this NHS England video there has been no negative feedback so far from the digital switch so everything is on course to boost the reputation of healthcare services without compromising on patient care.
